Couchsurfers, nice to meet you! Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile.
For me, traveling is more than just a hobby, it's a personal value. We are only blessed with a short time on this perfectly imperfect Earth...I'm determined to see as much of it as possible.
For work, I'm a professional speaker mostly focused on trade shows and live events. I'm addicted to creating audience synergy!
In the past, I was a studio photographer, mediocre actor, subpar model, high-end fashion rep, bartender, and a website sales rep.
I'm an outdoors guy that also loves the city.
I'm divorced but I still believe in the power of love.
Of all the numerous adventures I've had in the planet, the most memorable usually involve other awesome humans.
I've been to 23 countries and counting plus many, many repeat visits.
I'm full of random knowledge and I'm always in search of more.
I'm clean, quiet and respectful of my host's homes.

Live a life full of adventure and personal growth and taking time to pay-it-forward.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH:
I can teach you to overcome one of the most common human fears: PUBLIC SPEAKING! I've suffered from generalized anxiety my entire life so the idea of me having a professional speaking career is, well...CRAZY. If I can learn to be comfortable, so can you.
LEARN:
I'm here to learn about the various cultures of the world and about the things that connect all human beings.
SHARE:
Laughter, mental stimulation and food, definitely food.
